The ignore function is awesome. I used it for a member and it is great.

Many Americans are just arrogant. They will find out the hard way when either they get Covid-19 or a family members dies from Covid-19. Our education system has failed us. Many people can't critically think, fail to look at facts or believe in conspiracy theories.

For anyone who doesn't think racism is a public health issue, please educate yourself. Educate yourself on implicit bias and racism. For the sake of your patients. Look to develop your critical thinking skills. Not everything is black and white. As a white female, I can say YES racism is real. It is real and it hurts people of color.

The more the virus is allowed to run rampant, the more likely healthcare workers may be exposed to the virus. Healthcare workers have already died from the virus. There isn't enough PPE. The US had time to prepare and we didn't. I value my health and happiness over money. In my opinion, the US has their priorities backwards. Of course, we can't stay closed forever. Look at Canada, the UK and other developed countries. We are so far into individualism that we are failing. Other countries have a far better quality of life than we do. If we can't take care of our vulnerable, what does that say about us?

Covid-19 has killed thousands in a short amount of time vs individuals killed during a flu season. There is currently no vaccine available to everyone. I realize there are clinical trials happening. There is a flu vaccine. While definitely not perfect, it can sometimes lessen the severity of the flu if an individual is infected with influenza.

Incompetence definitely, possibly malfeasance. Our Federal Government did not act quickly to begin with.

A Hit with the Ladies... After reading your comments, I have great concern that you are a nurse. You are turning your head to science, facts and reality. Your comments, if said to a layperson could encourage them to not wear a mask and social distance. This could spread Covid-19. This is one of the reasons your comments is disturbing. Especially since you are a healthcare professional.

This is insane. 😒 I agree with getting a lawyer.

I'm so sorry this has happened to you. I wish you the best.

I do in home case management. Least stressful job I have ever had. No direct nursing care. You get to know your patient and have time to teach and educate about ways to improve their health.

I think 10-12 weeks is more appropriate for a new graduate nurse. I got almost 12 weeks.

It is definitely possible to work during nursing school but it depends on many factors. With the nursing program I was in, it was 40 hours per week with just class and clinical. Then there was homework assignments every night. I was able to work part time but it was extremely difficult.

I don't have sickle cell disease but I did want to say I have chronic pain. I can have significant pain but still be calm, talkative, watch TV, etc. I suggest earning CEUs in pain management. I believe this might help your practice greatly.

I have scoliosis that is significant and I've been a nurse for 8 years. It is possible to be a nurse as long as you take care of yourself.

I've been a nurse for 8years. I've done critical care, med surg, hospice and home health. I now do case management which can be enjoyable. I suppose I am just asking for guidance bc I know deep down I'm burned out. It's hard to deal with the family members who have impossible demands no matter how hard you try to help. I care about the patients I help and doing a good job. I know you guys understand being burned out. Someone who has been there please advise.
